Insomniac

Yeah Happy Birthday Col - hope you had a good one in the end (after having to work)!!

For the Sunny Coasters, would the meeting spot be area A or B, as indicated on my map...

Probably safer if you drive it! Just kidding Andrew! How's the car going these days? I take it Andrew's coming then?

Well if gets changed to a different date I might be able to make it then! Yes, it's all about me!!

Looks like I'm out for this one now (regardless of whether it's the feast or the $15 pizza deal) - I was informed by the wifey that apparently I forgot about a wedding I'm supposed to be going to! Dagnammit!

I should be able to make this +1. Can I tag along with you guys then?

The all-you-can-eat feast is $28 per head (min. 12 people). Starters: A selection of garlic & cheese calzones, pesto foccacias and antipasto platters Mains: A massive selection of our pizzas, big bowls of pasta, prawns, veal, pork ribs, lasagne and mixed salads After: Espresso Coffee or English Breaky Tea and chocolate & zabaglione gelati As long as at least 12 people agree to the feast, then I suppose everyone else can do what they like. If we're doing the feast thing, then count me in +1 Karen!

Nah it wasn't a track day pizza night - it was an actual Elio Feast night last year (or maybe it was the year before! ) - I came down from the Sunny Coast for it... I think there were about 20-25 of us there.

Is this a normal "order whatever you want" thing, or the "Elio's Feast" (all-you-can-eat) thing like last time... coz last time the Feast was good!!

Hey, there's nothing wrong with ricers! At the moment I've got a NA R33 - it sounds awesome, but has nothing (compared to a turbo). I just make sure that I'm all noise and no show - I don't even attempt to race...

That was you?! Sounded pretty good as it rumbled past - I was in my wife's Laser, so you could probably hear the rumble as you drove past me as well!

PIG-001 rumbled past me tonight on Nicklin Way - haven't seen that one before! Anyone on here?

yeah I don't think anyone buys a GTS coz they really want a GTS - they buy one for one of two reasons: they are young and can't afford the insurance of a turbo but still want a Skyline, or they are upgrading from a 1980 Toyota Celica, feel the power increase of a GTS would be sufficient for a couple of years, and have heard that any GTS being imported from Japan is going to be a reliable car due to the fact that no one is going to thrash a GTS! Most people probably fall into that second group, so there should still be a market when it comes to selling a GTS'.

LOL! I currently still have the R33 GTS (NA) - I never had a GTST. I have already done the extractors and full Zetti exhaust thing, but I am now looking at doing one of the following: a) keep the NA for another year after spending some money on upgrading the bodykit (this is becoming an attractive option with the fuel prices screwing up my ideas of turbo power) b) sell the NA in a few months and upgrade to an R34 GTT I just can't decide whether it would be a waste of money upgrading the bodykit on the NA, or whether it would help when it came time to sell it. Thoughts?

yeah fuel prices mostly, but also been too busy since quitting my job... how ironic! (not that I ever bumped into anyone when I was out anyway!) ...also trying to decide whether I should upgrade the R33 NA bodykit before upgrading to a R34 GTT... hmmm.

Poor Erin... I know how you feel - I still have my very first car - a 1980 model Toyota Celica - sitting on the side of my house waiting for me to let go of it. And I know it wouldn't be far of it, but it's certainly no 200rwkw car!

Damn, I was actually working on an alternative version of mine (#18) with the various other models, but ran out of time due to work commitments! Ah well, good luck to everyone else - there are so many high quality entries... well done everyone!

With unleaded sitting at $1.28/L as of last night (which puts Optimax close to $1.40/L), I don't know how anyone can afford to cruise at the moment...

Saw a nice 'line @ Sunshine Plaza (2nd level carpark) on Friday night - had one of those Ab Flug kits on it. I was considering one of those as I hadn't seen anyone else on the Coast with one... would like to have seen it without the eyelids... does it belong to anyone on here?

Damn!! I've been offline for a few weeks, so I missed this one... :

Happy Birthday guys... hope you had a great one!

Congrats guys! Hmmm... whirlwind... In 10 years together, my new wife and I have only recently married... that's it as far as our list of achievements goes!

If you see a crazy driver in a wine red R33, usually around Kawana Shopping Centre way, it'll probably be me! ... and if I ever get my membership pack, you may see it with an SAU sticker on it! B) I usually wave to fellow Skyliners, but most just look at me like I'm the weird one! Haven't seen you round much Andrew - is the car all fixed now?

Happy B'Day flamer!
